1.
Helen Keller School:

a.
There is a built-up curb ramp in one of the parking spaces designated as
reserved for persons with disabilities. If a vehicle is parked in that space,
there is no accessible route to the area used for voting. Provide at least one
accessible route within the boundary of the site connecting these elements that,
to the maximum extent feasible, coincides with the route for the general
public. The accessible route must have a minimum clear width of 36 inches, or a
minimum clear width of 42 inches if there is a turn around an obstruction less
than 48 inches wide; have passing spaces at least 60 inches by 60 inches at
least every 200 feet; have a minimum clear headroom of 80 inches; have a surface
that is firm, stable, and slip resistant; have, in the absence of a curb ramp,
ramp, elevator, or platform lift, no level changes in excess of ½ inch
vertically; and have a running slope of less than 1:20 (5%) (or have been
constructed as a fully accessible ramp) and a cross slope of less than 1:50
(2%). Standards §§ 4.3, 4.5, Fig. 7.

b. The
third space designated as reserved for persons with disabilities lacks adequate
demarcation. Ensure that standard accessible spaces are a minimum of 96 inches
wide and served by access aisles at least 60 inches wide. Ensure that van
accessible spaces are a minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at
least 96 inches wide. At all spaces designated as reserved for persons with
disabilities, provide vertical signs with the International Symbol of
Accessibility located such that they cannot be obstructed by parked vehicles.
At van accessible spaces, provide an additional "Van-Accessible" sign located
below the International Symbol of Accessibility. Ensure that all spaces and
access aisles for persons with disabilities are flat and level, with slopes and
cross-slopes not exceeding 1:50 in all directions, and that their surfaces are
firm, stable, and slip-resistant. Standards §§ 4.1.2(5), 4.6, 4.30.7(1).
